Little falls for demented conspiracy theory

I’ve blogged on this before, on how a few nutbars on the left think that Bill English and Nick Smith have devised a cunning plan to enrich themselves by a hundred million dollars or so by transferring land and houses to the Tamaki redevelopment company which they own 59% of.

Not fit to govern !

I guess the unions made him do it and since they have zero knowledge over anything other than how to get low paid workers to fund highly paid politicians (so highly paid politicians can keep their own money using low paid workers money for their campaign funding) – I guess this was to be expected.

I love conspiracy theories. I used to just live on it. I thrived on making inquiries. Responses alone became like confirmation bias. You know it’s all hype and garbage, but you’re still really paranoid afterwards. It’s fun entertainment. And the drugs are the best around. Andrew was always polite to me on the phone each week. 😎

Andrew Little could have responded something like “They are only shareholders as Ministers – not in a private capacity.” Instead he tried to go along with their nutty conspiracy.
The same thing happened when Labour MPs marched against the TPPA – but when Labour MPs were asked what they actually believed in, it turned out they were saying something rather different.
.
Labour keep sending messages to their Hard Left supporters that they are with them. But then they have to fudge and wriggle when they are called out because what they are supporting is so obviously nutty.

kimbo — “…but isn’t that what Little is saying/implying he is going to do?’

This transfer happened months ago. It was headline news and was talked about in Parliament. Is Little on the ball or not. He shouldn’t have to look up the information now. He should know it now. Anyone would think the Government has tried to keep it a secret.
At the time I remember the MSM tried to make a big deal about it but it died down very quickly as the leftie journalists woke up to what had happened.

So the big story is here that Andrew Little (or more likely one of his little helpers) made a standard, non-committal response of FB?
And by that you judge “Little falls for demented conspiracy theory”.

Joe Trinders little Mana News story is STILL circulating?????? FFS… I laughed at a couple of friends on Facebook months ago over this one… they felt chagrined to have fallen for it…..

But it goes to show how effective some of this rubbish is – once its in the wild weak minds spread it like manure and continues to give off noxious vapours well, well after its been laughed out of Dodge by sensible people

Bit late on this one but I’d like to respond to Kimbo’s concerns. As Leader of the Opposition Andrew Little needs to demonstrate he is also Prime Minister material. He is in effect on a three-year job interview to see if he is up to the top job. One of the requirements for Prime Minister is to have judgment – the ability to distingush the real from the not real, the important from the unimportant, and the consequential from the inconsequential. All politicians must be inundated with requests from people who, simply put, are idiots. They must be able to sort the wheat from the chaff. In responding to this Facebook post, Andrew Little has demonstrated he does not have the requisite level of judgment to make these distinctions. While he has only offered to make enquiries he has done so in a public forum and laid himself open to be associated, however tangentially, to a nutbar, conspiracy theory. Poor judgment, that’s the issue.
